America and the Spirit of Enterprise

This official millennium publication -- a magnificent, full-color coffee table-style book -- chronicles the entrepreneurial achievements, inventions, innovations, and growth of American business in the 20th century.
 
While it is a celebration of a brilliant past, America and the Spirit of Enterprise is as much a book about the future. It is a tribute to the pioneering men and women responsible for the tremendous growth of the U.S. economy and the drive and spirit that is characteristic of enterprise in the United States.

In addition, America and the Spirit of Enterprise is a veritable Who’s Who of famous American entrepreneurs, including Walt Disney, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Ray Kroc, Sam Walton, and many more.
